The Abingdon Foodbank is in urgent need of supplies. Donations at Tesco Extra go to the national organisation Fareshare, and those at Aldi and Lidl go to Neighbourly. So if you want to be sure you’re helping the people of Abingdon, use Waitrose, or the Co-Op in West St Helen’s St, or the North or South Abingdon foodbanks. Read more about donation times and what they most urgently need at https://abingdon.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/donate-food/.
To help support local foodbanks, food larders and community fridges, South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils are inviting community food groups to apply for a grant of £2,500 for essential supplies.
